After Australian forensic pathologist Dr David Wells testified yesterday, another foreign expert, DNA specialist Dr Brian McDonald, will take the witness stand in the Sodomy II trial involving Oppostion Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
McDonald, who is also from Australia, will first answer questions from defence lawyer Ram Karpal and this is likely to take most of the morning.
It will follow with cross-examination solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, who is lead prosecutor.
Wells was quizzed by Yusof for most parts of yesterday. In his testimony, Wells said that a 30-year-old study stating that sperm retrieved from the rectum can last up to 65 hours should be treated with caution.
At one point, the witness was briefly stumped when asked how a third person could retrieve another person’s sperm and planted in the alleged victim’s rectum. He said he would leave it to a DNA expert to answer that question.
Later, in replying to questions from defence lawyer Sankara Nair, Wells agreed there could be tear in Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan’s rectum should the purported act – as described by the complainant – was “laju and rakus” (fast and furious).
Pusrawi Hospital’s Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid and Hospital Kuala Lumpur doctors have earlier testified that they saw no signs of injury.
